    We had only one GRYE, the rest were Lesser Yelowlegs. This guy has longer and slightly up-curving bill.
    It has some colour cast on the belly, coming from the water. I removed it, using colour replacement tool to see how it looks.
    I did not like it, so I went back to this image.
    Hand held, sitting down at the edge of the water.
    Thanks for looking.

    I really like the color of the water and feel it would be worth the time to clean up the whitish spots in the water.
    I too see the magenta cast and would remove it.
    I like your composition. I wish for a bit more head turn as well,
    Gail

    Thanks Gail.
    If I remove magenta, as I did, it'll get kind of greenish which makes the image cold.
    I like it this way. Magenta is nicer than cold green.

    The color caste looks fine to me.
    A nice pose in an attractive setting.

    I really to see these birds! Very good colour on water, I think it goes well with this birdīs plumage. I would just crop a tad on top and bottom.

    Hi Karl, well placed in the frame, and I like the leaning wading pose. Interesting colour to the water, and just love the hint of the droplet at the end of the bill.
